Tam, Whose Line Is It Anyway?
Stephen's Linlithgow Journal (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009
I was reviewing the website of Tam Smith the SNP PPC for Linlithgow and East earlier, and saw on his website that Tam had commented on the Lib Dem debate on Saturday . His blog article starts: Commenting on the Liberal Democrats’ special conference held to debate the party’s position on a referendum on independence, the SNP called on all parties to back the right of the Scottish people...

Don’t Call Robert Allenby a Journeyman
Armchair Golf Blog (Free subscription) | 10/23/2009
YOU CAN CALL ROBERT ALLENBY a golf grump, a whiner and a sore loser. But please don’t call the veteran Aussie golfer “a run-of-the-mill journeyman.” That’s an actual comment I saw—and others like it—after Allenby criticized Anthony Kim’s alleged behavior on the eve of the pair’s singles match at the Presidents Cup. (Allenby was whipped 5 and 3 by Kim.)...

Does anyone know why the postal workers are on strike? I have taken a few token looks into the blitz of news stories surrounding the Royal Mail and CWU but I still don't get what is so awfully unfair about their jobs that they have to stop doing them. The Tories will be along to privatise the outfit in six months anyway so the Royal Mail workers should be packing as many full wage slips as they can...

SNP expenses and their previous call for an early election
The Grumpy Spindoctor (Free subscription) | 10/15/2009
Earlier this week the SNP patted itself on the back for promptly disclosing that six of its MPs, including the Member for Banff and Buchan would pay back any sums that Sir Thomas Legg's independent audit of MP's expenses claims ruled they owed. Just to recap, Mr Salmond was asked to repay £710.88, as part of the inquiry into MPs expenses, in a claim lodged for removal costs from London to Aberdeenshire...

MPs have no Legg to stand on
SNP Tactical Voting (Free subscription) | 10/12/2009
I'll be honest, when I first read about Gordon Brown's cleaning expenses that involved some sort of recharge with his brother, I thought the PM was being very hard done by and didn't have much of a case to answer. I certainly thought it was a bit rich making his the first story in the Telegraph's whole expenses debacle. Sir Thomas Legg will no doubt have examined the expense claims in much greater...

Aussie Golfer (Free subscription) | 10/11/2009
Oh dear. I fear the worst here. The Internationals need to win 8 of the 12 singles matches on the final day of the 2009 Presidents Cup to win. Ana amazing last few holes from Tiger yesterday turned what might have been a one point margin into a three point one. For the Internationals to win, and for me to win my Presidents Cup wager with One Eyed Golfer , here's 10 things which need to happen. Angel...

U.S. retains slim lead

SAN FRANCISCO — Mike Weir kept seeing American red on the scoreboard Friday, a familiar portrait at this Presidents Cup. Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker were dominant in a different format, winning so handily that they were the last match to tee off and among the first to finish. Phil Mickelson had a different partner and got the same result, closing out his match before reaching the 17th tee....

Americans Lead 10-7 on the Backs of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson
The FanHouse - Villanova Basketball (Free subscription) | 10/10/2009
by Shane Bacon Filed under: Presidents Cup He is Tiger Woods , and sometimes, it seems we forget this. He wins six events in 2009 and we complain about his performances at the majors. He is one of the better match play golfers to ever wrap his hands around a cord grip, yet we worry about his team record. And then he goes and does stuff like he did Saturday morning at Harden Park in San Francisco,...
